This link is here for me, and maybe it will be here for you too, when in the midst of the struggles of life, most particularly the adoption journey, I can be reminded that I cannot continue in the flesh.
This whole process is a walking in the Spirit. He began the work in our hearts, opened our eyes to the desperate need of orphans, gave us hearts that have been broken by the very thing that breaks His heart and caused us to have the faith to step out and make the phone call to say "yes".
How, can I ever think for a moment that now I am in control? That I have any say over each step?
I am called to be completely and utterly dependent on Him. Yet, who better to make ourselves vulnerable to than One who has already planned the whole thing! May I remember these things, when my flesh demands its own way and deceives me into thinking I can accomplish things in my own strength.

We can all use this reminder every now and again (or every day!). It is His work, and we can have complete trust He will do HIS work, using us and our complete FAITH and emptiness of self. How often do I live my day in the flesh, not even giving Him the chance to do His will through me??
